Title: Bitcoin icon on TV (City of London)
Post by: Meni Rosenfeld on July 26, 2012, 06:16:24 PM
In preparation for the olympics, there was a segment on a news broadcast here in Israel telling the story of the City of London (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_of_London) (not to be confused with London (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London)). (The segment itself isn't of Israeli origin so others may have seen it as well.)

In at least 2 points, they talked about its commerce/wealth and used gold coin icons to visualize it.

Except that it wasn't just any gold coin. It was the Bitcoin icon.

I thought it was pretty cool.

I would love to see that video!

Maybe there is a Bitcoin enthusiast within the production team  :)

That's the one, and it was indeed presented on a major TV channel (not on prime time though).
